[WordPress] Post a comment as a Tweet

A customer of mine is requesting this feature on his WordPress blog:
– A visitor who posts a reply to a post can check a box saying something like "Post as a tweet". The first xx characters of his comment and a shortened link to the comment are than posted as a tweet to his or her Twitter account.

I’ve been searching through Google for some time now, but I can only find lots of plugins that post your WordPress posts as tweets or posts your tweets as posts on your blog. However, I couldn’t find the kind of Twitter integration that I’m looking for.

Scripting it myself using the API will cost me quite some time, so I was wondering if anyone knows the plugin/service that I’m looking for?

Tips

What now? I have some ideas for you.

Go explore CodePen!

As a front end designer and developer, you should have an account on CodePen so you can save your snippets, present your ideas, and engage with other front end folk. I'd encourage you to go PRO as well, to unlock the full power of CodePen.

Get the newsletter!

You should sign up for the CSS-Tricks newsletter. It's a clean copy of all the blog posts each week, combined together, right to your inbox. If email isn't your thing, there is an RSS feed, iTunes, and lots of other ways to subscribe.
